To learn about this journey of celestial discovery, from the theories of the ancient Greek astronomers to today’s grandest telescopes, we invite you to experience From Earth to the Universe.
This show runs 30 minutes in length and will be preceded by a live sky tour.
A tour of January night skies, followed by the fulldome planetarium production “From Earth to the Universe.”
This 30-minute voyage through time and space conveys, through an arresting combination of sights and sounds, the Universe revealed to us by science. The show was produced for the ESO Supernova Planetarium and Visitor Centre.
The Department of Physics and Astronomy invites all to a colloquium featuring Dr. Marty Ytreberg, Department of Physics at University of Idaho. Dr. Ytreberg will present their talk, “Using Molecular Modeling to Study Protein Structure, Function, and Evolution”.
Follow the journey of a single photon as it is produced in a distant star, before travelling across the vast expanse of space to land on someone’s retina. This fulldome planetarium show explores some of the fascinating processes of the cosmos, from astrophysics to the biology of the eye and brain.
